The most wonderful time of the year is almost here! And while designing the most gorgeous Christmas tree and entryway are already probably on your checklist, this is also the perfect opportunity to transform your space with Christmas wall décor and ornaments.

From garlands, wreaths, and banners to hanging Christmas trees and framed signage, dressing up your walls will definitely make your space ready for the festivities. After all, the walls take up much of the vertical space in your home, and primping it with the right accessories will undeniably delight your guests and loved ones.

There are tons of looks that you can explore, such as the classic red, white, and green color scheme, a neutral minimalist style, or even your dream Winter Wonderland look with flocked greenery. You don’t have to break the bank or do a total transformation either. DIY decorations or combining your everyday décor with Christmas ornaments are just some of the many ways that you can embrace the holiday spirit in style without going on a spending spree.

You’ll be inspired to spruce up your home for the holiday season with these Christmas wall décor ideas.

How to Pair Blinds and Curtains Together for an Elegant Look

We don’t often think about combining blinds and curtains, especially when one or the other will suffice. But believe it or not, the benefits of pairing both window coverings together may be enough to convince you otherwise! For example, did you know that closing both blinds and curtains can help you conserve energy by retaining heat in the winter and cool air in the summer (https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/energy-efficiency/beat-the-heat-with-window-coverings-a9…,heat%20loss%20in%20the%20winter.)? Or that curtains or blinds alone may not be enough for complete privacy?

If you’re surprised by these facts, you may want to investigate for yourself. Hang some Roman bamboo shades for a bohemian look with a natural vibe. Or select sleek, neutral shades for a timeless design. Mount curtains for added texture and movement and soften the look of the light in your home. Layer both for ultimate privacy and light control, and see how your home is transformed. If you don’t believe us, check out our gallery below, and you’ll see it yourself!

30 Minimalist Bathroom Ideas for Creating a Spa-Like Retreat

A bathroom is a place for rejuvenation. It’s where you get ready to take on the day and unwind at night. However, clutter and bright bursts of pattern and color can impact your mood and actually make you feel drained rather than recharged.

These distraction-free zones are typically pretty minimal.

A minimalist approach when decorating and organizing your bathroom can help you cultivate a sanctuary within your home. We’ve compiled this gallery of minimalist bathroom inspiration to help get your ideas flowing. You’ll find tips on how to stow away your toiletries, choose tile, and add just the right amount of decor and accessories. If you’re ready to design your own zen retreat, read on for our best ideas!

11 Things You Need To Know Before Painting Doors Black

Sophisticated, stunning, and striking are all words that come to mind when I think of black doors. This dramatic hue fits perfectly with a classic or traditional style, elevates modern and contemporary dwellings, and adds a unique update to farmhouse design. Black doors are often associated with strength, power, and opportunity, which makes them a popular choice on so many levels (certapro.com/blog/residential/front-door-color-meanings/#::text=When used to paint front,connected to stillness and wealth).

I’m a proponent of making a statement from the front door that lets visitors know what to expect when they enter your home. Continuing black doors throughout your home is a phenomenal strategy to create continuity and flow throughout your home. But it doesn’t have to stop there! Black trim, accent pieces, and furniture can help achieve a similar look depending on your style and taste. Don’t believe me? Then, check out this sensational gallery of homes with black doors below and get ready to be impressed.
